The Pittsburgh Steelers have locked up another one of their players for the long haul, as the team has agreed to a contract extension with tight end Pat Freiermuth.
The deal, which has been expected for some time now, has been confirmed by his agency, according to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, and it’s a four-year deal worth $48.4 million.
Based on those initial numbers, the total value is ranked seventh among tight ends, while the annual average of $12.1 million ranks ninth, just one spot ahead of Houston Texans veteran tight end, Dalton Schultz, per Over the Cap.
Freiermuth is the second Steeler to get a deal done with the team, as veteran defensive lineman Cameron Heyward recently inked a three-year, $45 million extension.
